I am one of those people who just LOVE weddings. Specifically I love capturing the happiest moments for my couples and being able to make beautiful moments for my brides to look back on. I want the bride to have photos where she feels beautiful, confident, and timeless. My main markets are Columbus Ohio, Palm Springs, California, Hawaii, and Florida, BUT I LOVE and am willing to travel farther. I’m not one of those photographers who just decided one day to pick a camera up and just start doing weddings, Photography has been my entire life, this is my 15th year capturing wedding experiences for my brides. I love telling your authentic story.

This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

Make Your Wedding Day Legendary! For the couples who dare to stand out, who crave the flair of editorial-like storytelling, and authenticity in every frame, we're here to bring your special day to life. Whether you're envisioning a mountaintop surprise proposal, an intimate elopement, or a grand wedding, we'll create an experience that's as unique as your love story. We believe that your love should be a reflection of who you are as a couple—your quirks, your passions, and most importantly your journey. That's why we take the time to get to know you, to understand your vision, and approach your story with grace.

Ashley has been a part of our journey from the engagement to "I do." Leading up to our wedding on the island, Ashley went out of her way to help us with vendors, shipping, and giving us advice on best practices on the island. We are forever grateful for her generosity and willingness to help us even when we weren't there. On the wedding day, Ashley arrived early to make sure everything was how it needed to be for her, but also took time to build bonds with our entire wedding party to make sure they were comfortable. Her way of guiding us through our photos while allowing us to be "ourselves" and feel authentic and comfortable was so natural for her. She was able to capture our love f0r our people and most importantly our love for each other in ways that we are truly blown away by. Every request was met with willingness and a clear vision. Her work prior to arrival was evident, her photos are truly magic, and her timeliness is unmatched. We found a reliable, trustworthy, kind, and generous photographer that has now turned into our Ohana. We are forever grateful for finding her!

Hey there friend! My name is Sunny Golden and I'm a wedding photographer based on Oahu, HI! I'm all about getting to know each other and making your photography experience not-so-intimidating! I'm not here to put you into some cookie-cutter, stiff poses. You are WAY too unique for that! I'm about letting you love each other the way you do best and encouraging genuine interaction. My goal is come alongside couples, listen to who they are and what's important to them. So I can then capture their special day in a way that that is meaningful to them. Not just generic and typical. I want this is be the very best for YOU!!!

Sunny was recommended to me by my Sister-in-Law after working with her to do maternity photos on Oahu. Sunny was warm and welcoming, she seemed like she really wanted to get to know me and my fiancé. She set up a Zoom call to chat with us and to learn about our love story so she could be sure to capture us in the way(s) in which were important to us. COVID cancelled our original wedding but Sunny was AMAZING. Not only did she work to reschedule with us, but she went above and beyond to let us know that she was there for us through all the stress. She even sent us a small care package to let us know she was thinking of us and cared about us! All of this care before we had even met her face to face!! As a worrier and an over planner Sunny helped me feel calm and confident leading up to the wedding day. Did I mention that Sunny is incredibly talented!?! In addition to her beautiful personality she took the most amazing photos that my husband and I will cherish forever. Neither one of us are used to being in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. She had an awesome vision for our photos and took us to a spot that we had not even thought of. Her creativity is unmatched and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Sunny on our wedding team!! <3

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I love capturing precious memories for couples on their special day and showing their love story throughout the photography coverage. I began my photography journey in 2015 after I had my daughter. Growing up I used to dislike having my photos taken because I always felt uncomfortable in the photos. Raise your hand if you can relate! My biggest goal is to make my clients comfortable and provide a positive experience. I want my clients to frame my finished work and art in their homes and be proud of their photos.

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

Wanderlust Creatives is the brainchild of Jei and Gaile, born and raised in the Philippines, currently living in Los Angeles and traveling around the world. We met in choir, found a common love for art and photography, fell in love, and the rest is history. We've been photographing professionally since 2014. We love capturing moments, from intimate elopements to big wedding celebrations! Our approach is a good mix of documentary-style photojournalism and editorial work. We are very much inspired by contemporary art, pop culture, fashion, the 90s (the decade of our youth), and travel - one will find that all these influence our aesthetic.

We were thrilled to have Wanderlust Creatives as our wedding photographers. From the very first conversation, they were friendly, prompt, and easy-going, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is incredible - the photos they took are absolutely beautiful and so nostalgic, perfectly capturing all the special moments of our wedding day.

I pride myself and my work as a wedding and portrait photographer because I love what I get to do everyday when I get to serve my clients. My goal at the end of every wedding or session is to capture all of the most important moments along with the little ones in between.

I also frequently visit Atlanta, Valdosta, Athens, Taccoa, Florida, and North Carolina. I genuinely love traveling all over the place and wouldn’t have it any other way!

The photographer for film lovers. I'm a film believer that film belongs at weddings: Polaroids, 35mm, 120, Super8... you don't need to worry about the logistics: just enjoy your day + I'll make the magic. I'm Pittsburgh based but most of my work is destination, so weather you're getting married in your parent's backyard or a chateau in France: I'd love to make photos for you that help you savor this day for a lifetime!

Nellie is not just a photographer but an artist. She puts so much creative effort into her work and mixes film and digital to give her final gallery a unique twist different from the regular photographer. She also adds in gifs and they’re so cute! Another thing she offers is Super 8 films of your wedding day and if you don’t book her for photo, definitely book her for a Super 8 video of your day. She is so sweet and kind and puts special care into getting to know you and makes the wedding day go smoothly with no drama. If you want beautiful art filled candid memories for your wedding or engagement and the nicest photographer ever, Nellie is your girl!
